A Cheerful Dakota Liar.

In the east thousands of people plant
and SOW "in the moonn to insure
rapid growth, but in Dakota it is
dangerous to plant in the prolific
phase of the moon, so they are care
full to plant at such time that the
moon will exert its influence in hold
ing the crop back. l have known
several disasters to result from neglect
of this precatltion. One day last jan
uary got lost out in the country,and
while / was toiling through the long,
new grass l saw man, with nothing
on but his suspenders, tearing along
like mad. He stopped me just long
enough to tell me what was up, and
off he went again for the Iowa side of
the Sioux river, which he cleared at
a bound, and fell on all tours into a
snow drift four feet deep. He said
that he and his wife had looked up
the moon business, and had planted
their garden the evening before, but
happened to get hold of last years
almanac and missed it about four
days. The result was that when he
woke up that morning the beets that
he planted forty feet from the house
had crushed in his cellar wall, and
had also taken the dS6r off its hinges,
and were just hopping the floor with
all that was left of the hired man,
whom they had snatched out of bed
in the attic. He didn't know where
his wife was, but saw some shreds of
a night-gown and several agate but
tons in the front yard as he fled. He
said there were pea-vines arter him
with pods on 'em long enough for
phantom boats, and one could see
by the way he was dressed that if he
was liar at all he was not regular
Dakota thoroughbred sample. If l
really thought would ever become
an average Dakota liar would want
to die.
About two weeks ago | saw a farm
or behind straw-stack gathering in
heap lot Of old bones and pieces of
hides and sprinkling salt on them.
Yesterday saw the same man sell
ing pair of steers to a butcher up
town. They were so fat and had
filled out so fast that he had pieced
out their hides with an old buffalo
robe. He swore that they were the
same cattle l had seen him kicking
together behind the straw-stack. He
said all they had eaten was some
wild grass that sprung up in his door
yard, where the women folks had
thrown out few tubs of soapsuds
washdays. He said that he had
learned that the best way to winter
stock in Dakota was to knock them
all to pieces in the fall and set them
up again as wanted; otherwise, I'M
less we get a blizzard every week,
they were liable to get too fat and
round on the native grass.
Last fall stopped at house to Dor
row match to light my pipe with.
The man told me to go right out in
the garden and pick all / wanted. !
did not know what he meant at first,
but he went out with me, and-Pm
almost afraid you'll think / am lial
for telling it-there was about half an
acre growing of the finest parlol
matches l ever saw. They were thick
as hairs on blind mole. He said he
had poor crop the year before be.
cause the seed were too good for such
sod. This year he had mixed hisseed
matches with one-fourth tooth-picks
and got splendid yield.

Education In the South.

Recent Investigations have shown that

amount of money expended annually for
schools is Sll.545. 900. and that since 1880
the number of public schools has been in
creased from As. 600 to 61,5S3. In face
of these figures the talk concerning litter

oArHs OF FRENCH MoSARCHs.

Louis IN, of France, SO superstitiously
devout in his old age, swore by Gods
Resurrection. Charles VIII swore by the
Light Of God. which was more poetic and
suited 10 his character as a chivalrous
knight. Louis MI, who merited the title
Father of his People, treated the deity
with less familiarity He simply said,
when he desired TO emphasize the asser-
tiOn, May the devil carry me off,
Francis !, who had been knighted by the
Chevalier Bayard, asseverated ''On the
word Of q gentleman. As for Bayari
himself, the most finished and .irreproach-
able knight Of his age. his favorite djura-
tion was by the Head of God'' Charles
IX satisfied his morbid desire for some
form of profanity with a terse Goods
Death Henry Nv had two oaths with
which he freely punctuated his conversa-
tan: by the belly of ST. Gris'' and
.arnidieu.' St Girls was the god of
& 'unkards. and he swore by him as an old
woman might have sworn by Bacchus
''Jarnidicu' meant Je renie Dieu, that is,
Il deny God, or let me deny God if this
is 50 or is not SO, meaning TO appeal To
something impossible. This form of pro-
family did not please his confessor, Cotton,
who begged him to deny any one raj her
than God-himself, for instance. So the
king changed his form Of adjuration to
''Jaruicoton, Il deny Coton'
The French swear Par Notre Dame
as the English by Our Lady This form
Of oath has naturally disappeared from
the profane vocabulary of Protestant ma
tons, but is 81 i'll used by Frenchmcn, and
sometimes by French ladies in the con
t-acted form of dame. 1t is curious to
observe that while profanity in France,
and 10 a certain extent in all Catholic
countries, has become meaningless, in
England and America il retains in most
mo lths much of its original blasphemous
chai acter, perhaps because there have
been such slight changes in its spelling
There are English speaking persons who
swear with astonishing volubility without
themselves attaching the slightest mean
ing to the profane words or being moved,
SO far as can be perceived. by any i'll feel
ing. Still, il is not expected that an Eng
lish or American gentleman will swear in
the presence of ladies', nor does a gentle
man raise himself in the estimation Ct
others of his sex by using profane oaths
as safety valve TO his overburdeneG
emotions.-San Francisco Chronicle

ENCOURAGING ron rDano.

Robt f. Strahorn, general manager
of the improvement Company, return
ed from a two weeks visit to Omahs
and other eastern points Thursday
He reports an unusual inquiry every
where in the east concerning Idaho.
This is particularly noticeable through
cut Nebraska and Kansas, and there
will be large movement of desirable
people from those states TO our various
valleys and mining regions this year.
Caldwell and vicinity will come in for .
large share of tho immigration.
The German colony which we men,
toned some few week ago, viii be here
during the season, ono hundred families
strong. MIR. Strahorn visited several
OF tho leading families on this trip, and
says that twenty Of them have already
filed on lands under the Improvement
Company's canal, and that to mako
room for tho largo number TO follow,
the canal will receive important exten-
sions and enlargements this season.
Being asked about tho reported re-
moval OF the Uaion Pacific hotel from
Caldwell, he said nothing had been
heard of it at Omaha headquarters,
and General nperintendent Smith said
such talk Of minor officials was wholly
unauthorized. Mr.. Strahorn bears a
document from Mr.. Smith which indi-
Gates that we shall have some more
gratifying news 10 regard to this mat
ter within few weeks.
The lease of the Oregon Railway 6
Navigation line to the Union Pacific, is
virtually consummated. This, in con-
neotion With the important reduction in
rates on the Oregon Short Line, Just
announced, and the large influx of
good class Of settlers, will greatly bene-
fit all Idaho.
The weather in the east Mr. Strahorn
says mas been excessively oold-from
10 to 25 degrees below zero during his
entire stay, and he is very glad to again
got back to our unqualled climate.
